Wednesday’s Lyrics – 99 Red Balloons by Nena

This song has no other significance than I was driving home and it came on the radio. It’s a blast from the past and it brought back a rather horrific memory that I shall not go into,

Blogging 201 – My Blogging Goals

I signed up for WordPress’ Blogging 201. I keep saying that I’m going to whip this blog into shape and by golly, I’m going to do it. I’ve done a lot of revamping and overall I’m pretty happy with the way it’s turning out.

Here are my three most immediate goals

Stick to my blogging schedule. I have a blogging schedule, which is quite doable; but I just haven’t been consistent with it. So, for next year my number one goal is to become a more consistent blogger.

• Top Ten Tuesday
• Wednesday’s Lyrics
• The Friday 56
• The 2nd and 4th Saturday post a review

Promote and get 5 to 10 participants for Wednesday’s Lyrics by December 31st. I started Wednesday’s Lyrics because I thought it was a good idea. Actually, I still do and again consistency is my issue nor have I promoted it.

Write Reviews that don’t sound so academic-like. As a former Literature major and English teacher, I always find myself struggling with writing review that sounds like I’m writing a reach paper versus a review that will encourage someone to read it.

So these are my three immediate goals.

Wednesday’s Lyrics – ‘Silent Night’ by The Temptations

So, it’s that time of year again.

Christmas.

And again, I’m in a bah humbug kind of mood until I hear The Temptations version of Silent Night. This is the absolute best version and I mean the absolute best. Not my opinion, it’s a fact. 😃

A lot of us are familiar with Silent Night we sing it a home around the Christmas Tree or in church or maybe you go caroling, either way ‘Silent Night’ inevitably shows up on our Christmas playlist.

Wednesday’s Lyrics – Same Love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Wednesday’s Lyrics is back! 

I’m kind of addicted to Macklemore’s “Downtown” and as I was YouTube searching I came across an interview with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis on the Ellen Degeneres show and they were talking about a song called “Same Love.”

So, I did a YouTube search for that and thought about a friend of mine who just last week told me he and his longtime boyfriend were getting married. I was so happy to hear it. “It’s about time,” was my response.

Wednesday’s Lyrics – Jailer by Asa

Wednesday’s Lyrics is back! 

I remember the first time I heard this song. I was on my way to a meetup and it came on the radio. The music struck me immediately and after a few times of hearing the song and digesting the lyrics, I realized how powerful they are; which made me enjoy the song even more.

Jailer by Asa

I’m in chains you’re in chains too
I wear uniforms and you wear uniforms too
I’m a prisoner,
You’re a prisoner too Mr Jailer

I have fears you have fears too
I will die, you sef go die too
Life is beautiful
Don’t you think so too Mr Jailer
